The Dark Eagle, Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), is a road-mobile system capable of striking targets up to 1,700 miles away. Each battery has eight missiles on mobile trucks. This setup allows for quick deployment and fast strikes. The US Military is deploying the first missile battery. The LRHW is a road-mobile and air-transportable weapon system, armed with missiles that can travel at speeds in excess of 3,800 miles per hour, with a reported range of 1,725 miles. It communicates with the A...

NASA confirmed that nuclear-micropowered probes (NMPs) using tritium betavoltaic power technology is possible. A new study will raise from a valid concept to a proof of concept experiment. Nuclear-micropowered probes could be used for autonomous exploration of the Moon’s permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) and other space missions. Tritium betavoltaics are a class of nuclear batteries that convert the beta decay energy of tritium (a radioactive hydrogen isotope with a 12.3-year half-life) dire...

Home » Artificial intelligence » SHOCKING Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory BREAKTHROUGH. 95% Robotic, 4X Faster Production of Model YL Tesla Giga Shanghai’s only needs ~2.5 hours to build a Model YL end-to-end. This is a 75% reduction from Tesla’s pre-2023 internal KPIs of 8-10 hours, achieved via unboxed parallel assembly (where subassemblies like chassis, battery, and interior converge simultaneously rather than sequentially). For context, VW’s legacy plants clock in at 20-30 hours per vehic...

Home » Artificial intelligence » Simplicity of Tesla Cybercab Production Means Mass Production is Only Months Away There are three major structural body parts for the modular construction of the Tesla Cybercab and the fourth major part is the structural battery. This makes the modularly constructed Tesla Cybercab hyper efficient for mass production but should also make it easy for Tesla to get production started in a few months. Joe Tegtmeyer saw that the Tesla Cybercab modules are being made...

Home » Artificial intelligence » Four Major Parts for Unboxed Modular Tesla Cybercab Construction There are three major structural body parts for the modular construction of the Tesla Cybercab and the fourth major part is the structural battery. Joe Tegtmeyer saw that the Tesla Cybercab modules are being made in Austin and tested in Fremont and Austin. There are large numbers of the castings being made. Tesla Cybercab production could start around December 2025 or in the first quarter of 2026....

Tesla has completed an Iron LFP battery factory in Nevada. This is probably going to take 1-2 years to hit volume production and the rumor is that the initial production capacity is 10 GWh per year. This is still pretty small by Tesla standards but a VERY meaningful first investment. Tesla will massively grow their in house LFP prismatic cell production, and possibly roll-in some of their learnings from the dry 4680 production lines in Austin. The current scaling would only be to about 25% of cu...
